Averaging Outside Grades
1. Honoring Grades
a. Grades will be honored from sending schools in accordance with school board
policy.
b. Grades will be honored from all sending schools in the United States, other
countries, charter, private, home school, and federally funded schools where the
grades can be converted to our grading system.
Teacher Handbook 2012-2013 74
For grades that are not numerical from outside AISD:
E = 95
S = 85
N = 75
U = 65
2. Calculation for Transfer Grades
When a child enters during a grading cycle, the child’s average from the sending school will
be assigned an equal number of times to the number of grading cycles for the same period
of time. The child’s average from the sending school will also be assigned an equal number
of times to the number of grades the teacher has in his/her gradebook (electronic) for the
same period of time.
